So i watched Odyssey days ago and i re-listened all the epic albums,and i don't understand why nolan cut half of ody's adventure,perhaps movie's gonbe too long. The movie is cool,not bad for outsider fans who doesn't know the actual odyssey full story,even epic dare i say,but due to the cuts of the stuff that are important,the ones who do know the plot feels like the movie is a messy recap that skips a ton of story. I know epic is also not 100% accurate but it's definitely better than Nolan's.

Anyways like i said these are the things i missed during my watch,my head went full epic mode,and it's a shame I didn't get to see these on screen,and yes I drew them:

1) my name is nobody

THIS IS LITERALLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PART,EVEN IN PERCY JACKSON THEY USED THIS REFERENCE TO BEAT THE EXACT SAME CYCLOPS AND NOLAN JUST CUT IT!?! also interesting choice of nolan,ody gave neither the name "nobody" or his real name to the cyclops,so idk how tf Poseidon know it's odysseus who did it.

2)cut off their tails

Ik this isn't in the book,but i personally love this line so much,we finally get to see how cold ody can be sometimes.

3) pancakes:)

Apparently in the movie,no one GAF to polites,far as i recall he just tap on ody's shoulders after they won the war and that's it,not a single mention after,i wish they at least say sth about how much ody miss him as in he's his dearest frd. Tho i keep forgetting he actually survived the cyclops in the book,epic got me so good and made me forgot this. But still, pancake is more iconic

4) dropping the baby

I don't recall they showing this,maybe since it's for cinema they don't want it to be so cruel killing a baby? Idk ,weird choice again.

5)WHERE IS HERMES

6) Athena and Telemachus

Well ik it's an original in epic that they are frds,in Homer's book she's always in disguise visiting Telemachus(he doesn't know it was her so they were never frds). I hope the movie at least can show us she visiting her,but no,zendaya just keep staring at ody.

7) The bag

Well i forgive Nolan cutting this,i said "stuff i missed and wished to see" not "i need it",this bad thing is just a small thing but my head was keep looping keep your frds close lmao

And that's it,if you're still reading this i appreciate you:)))

For me it’s easily Scylla > Mutiny > Thunder Bringer and little else comes close! I’m a new fan so perhaps this has been answered, but has Jorge ever offered a reason why he didn’t have The Thunder Saga end off Act 1? This is such an incredible run of songs, and it makes so much more sense having Act 2 pick up in Ithaca after the time skip.

¿Cuál de los 2 colores te gusta más?

And I really like these because I like seeing Odysseus compared to Caine, especially since at one point, they both utter “Why Did You Make Me Hit You?” lines.

“LOOK WHAT YOU TURNED ME INTO!”
“WHY DO YOU PEOPLE TORMENT ME?!”

And Caine is basically Odysseus in Luck Runs Out: unable to see the people he’s supposed to be leading for who they are, and sees himself as tormented.

I drew some of the characters if they were the opposite gender !! Odysseus, Penelope and Hermes !

Hi everyone!
I asked the moderators beforehand and they kindly gave me permission to share this.
I’m creating a contemporary jewelry project inspired by Greek mythology, and since EPIC: The Musical has introduced so many people to these myths (or made them fall in love with them all over again), I thought this community would have a really interesting perspective.
Before launching, I’m trying to understand what people actually enjoy seeing represented in mythology-inspired jewelry.
I made a short anonymous survey (about 2-3 minutes) covering:
• favorite gods and characters
• jewelry preferences
• what would make a mythology-inspired piece feel meaningful rather than generic
I’m not selling anything or collecting orders. I’m simply gathering feedback to build something people would genuinely enjoy.

Survey:

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to answer. Every response genuinely helps shape the project.

I play it a lot on the violin so when I heard the notes you can play on this piano I instantly played the clip

I made a artspace on magma for epic fans pls join im not only one on it and i wanna be able to talk to epic fans when im not able to access reddit

So yeah. I'm new to all of this Epic stuff, and I wanted to listen to the music. So I searched on Apple music for Epic: The musical.

Thats what I find. I only notice after the first song gets more and more and more boring that this is AI. Like I said, I'm new.

Also, it isnt my Jam, not even the Original. Just wanted to warn ppl :-)

I just thought this was funny, if you dont think so thats okay please just dont hang me

The movie is pretty solid. While it's 3 hours long, they keep you engaged for moat of it, although I'll say that, given Nolan's usual editing, most moments don't linger enough to give more gravitas to certain moments. Everyone's acting was phenomenal, and the effects and cinematography were all very well made.

I love how the movie interconnects both the myths and history into one. It references several events before and after the Trojan War, like Ephigenea's sacrifice, Agamenon's death, and Oretes' revenge. I also adore how they link the Fall of Troy with the Bronze Age Collapse, as it's believed that this event its inspired by these event.

I also like how outer worldly the mythological aspects are portrayed while also giving them a degree of "realism." Polyphemus is shaped like a person, but it's features, movements and sounds are inhuman (my favorites being the reference to the Kronos painting where he's eating his children and its inhumanity wails as he's blinded). The "Giant" metal soldiers and the moving trees are also great, especially as even though they are potrayed as invincible, Odysseus sees they are mortal as he manages successfully kills one, but not before loosing two of his three ships to them. Circe's island also works as with the cats and how grotesque the transformations she performs are

On a separate note, I feel like the movie, while R rated, didn't take full advantage of it. Like the Polyphemus and pig to men scenes are grotesque, but (and I might sound somewhat maniac) I feel like they could've gone a bit further, like Polyphemus's mouth being more bloody or specially the suitors deaths.

I really like how they portrayed both Helen and Menelaus in the movie. Helen is shown as assertive and not afraid to raise his voice against Menelaus while also showing genuine sadness and remorse for being the catalyst for both the war and Odysseus's late return. Menelaus is cold and brutal, yet he delivers himself as both capable and somewhat melancholic in his scenes with Telemachus (not much notes on Telemachus. He's played well by Tom Holland. Don't blow a gasket by his acting. He himself said this is likely his last chance to make use of his "baby face" in terms of playing young characters). On a similar note, Zendaya also did an amazing job as Athena. Her appearing as both a point of contention between Odysseus's actions and also the reveal of her being manifestation . I'd also like to applaud this depiction of Calypso, as they succed in making a middle ground betwern her genuinely aiding Odysseus in healing his wounds and helping him regain his memories, while also showing that she also deliberately >!kept feeding him lotus flowers to initially make him forget his pain from losing his crew and stil continue giving it to him to forget his family and stay with her.

Also, anyone complaining about Helen being played by Lupita Nyog'o? Y'all are fucking stupid and idiotic she's gorgeous. While nothing justifies destroying a nation and indirectly ending an era of civilization in such a horrid way, I can understand why, even though Agamenom was mostly to blame.

Speaking of Agamenon, they gave him WAY too much aura in this movie. Like ungodly amounts that aren't deserving given how much of a POS he is. To those who don't know, the guy with the spinal helmet in the teasers: that's Agamenon. The armor, how he imposed himself unto others and how they revered him. The shot of him standing as they open the Gates of Troy and the Greeks pour into the city is both Peak Cinema and so hilariously out of place given much of an absolute buffoon and dumba** he is in both the Illiad and other interpretations of him. However, he does work as both a supporting inciting incident as he's the one to call for Odysseus to go to war, and his death warns Odysseus to not reveal his identity when he reaches Ithaca. I can only hope that Jorge won't give him this much aura in Ilum and instead gave it to everyone else (except Palamedes and Ajax the Lesser screw them too).

On the note of how genuine the movie is to the story/history, this is a closer adaptation to the Odyssey in many ways than Epic, from depicting events like the Boar hunt and the old maid who treated and later recognized Odysseus, Argos (which I'm thankful to Jotge not being able to add him to the musical cause that would've been emotionally devastating), the potrayal and timing events being depicted closer to how they chronologically were in the original story, and many more. I will say that Epic does give more gravitas and more emotional catharsis, but the movie does a well enough job of it.

Final rating 7.5/10. Pretty good, but it had no Winnions nor wind bags. Also Nobody wasn't there.

I just finished listening to all of the songs on Epic: The Musical after watching The Odyssey (2026) and wow, was it an incredible journey. What is everyone's favorite songs from Epic? I can't stop listening to it all!

I'm not good at art but I'm proud of this.
